You are correct. They volunteered. Having done so, to complain about the duration of their deployment is as unpatriotic as not supporting them. No one held a gun to their heads to sign the papers. It is not all Gi Bills, one weekend a month, college tuition, and three square meals a day. On occasion, when you volunteer, you will be asked to follow through with your committment.

Its a shame that we are stuck there, the worst is how this war will bankrupt our nation…….. that IS Bush's legacy.

OBAMA 08!

LIFE is more sacred than OIL and rich men using young lives as throw away toys!

I am sick of the insanity and the evil bush and cheney who kill our sons and daughters and then say ….so, so!

We don't even know what "winning" would look like in Iraq. Let's leave and let Iran stabilize the region, would that be so horrible? Hospitals are shutting down in the US while our guys are risking their lives to protect the construction of new hospitals in baghdad. The Gov. of Iraq has a surplus while ours is running an historical deficit. Let's eat humble pie, and end this.

And if anyone talks to me about patriotism, you don't know what true patriotism is. Quit hiding behind yout lapel pins and do something that will HELP America. That's Patriotism!

How very sad it is to be away from family during the holidays.

Visualizing 4000 men on a field and then seeing them die for a good cause would be upsetting. I just hope and pray that these 4000 men died for a good cause.

I am hoping this Democratic Nomination will mark the beginning of the end of the Bush tragic saga…

I'm pleased we have a fighter in Hillary Rodham Clinton !

Am watching you as you tirelessly make the case for Hillary with regard to the delegate count, it's amusing. I mean, the media counted her out before, which i agree was a mistake. But there are realities to be faced now. First, because the delegates pick the nominee, just as the electoral vote picks the president, her numbers are'nt adding up and i frankly agree with POLITICO; it's over. Secondly, James Carville is wrong to think that the 8% of the remaining democrats will all vote for Hillary if they were to vote. Last i checked, Obama had supporters too and most of them either voted uncommited or never voted at all. Lastly, i agree with JACK, Obama won texas…and just as Nancy pelosi and Howard dean said, it's a delegates race…and WE the voters are watching really closely.

By the way, your argument about electability is shallow…because why is'nt she winning now?

OBAMA/EDWARDS 2008

Just think if the smear ads, "SWIFT BOAT ADS" had not worked
we would have had Kerry as Pres. instead of Bush. I did not
vote for Bush. I voted for Kerry.

Just, think how different our world would have been folks, makes
me want to sit down and cry for our country.

OBAMA/EDWARDS 2008 AND NO ONE, NO ONE ELSE. IF
WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE LIAR HILLARY, WE WILL NOT
VOTE. JUST WILL NEVER. NEVER.

You are really stretching. So now, not only is Barack's pastor a racist, but now Obama is a racist (with a white mother, grandmother, etc.). You are wrong Chris, and obviously had poor history teachers.

Blacks and other races are not bitter, we just hate ignorance.

Obama 08

let those who are forced to go come home now.

Let those who want to make omelettes with someone else's eg do it with theirs.

USS San Jose AFS 7
USS Alamo LSD 33
USS Wichita AOR 1 Remember the USS Stark FFG 31…..USS Stark hit by Iraqi missiles, 37 sailors die May 17 in 1987

Operation Just Cause
USS Philippine Sea CG 58

Michael Scott Speicher was shot down during the Persian Gulf War

You may be gone but in the hearts of those that hear your plane hit the sound will live in our hearts forever…

The price of freedom comes at a high price, Continued Freedom comes at an even higher price.

Pretty out of line uh? You have a selective memory when it comes to this stuff.

How about the tasteless comments made about the stain on the blue dress? Selective memory again.

THIS is the reason John McCain will be the President and people will continue to die in Iraq.

Most people do not have to sacrifice one thing for this war. Although your children and grandchildren will when they have to pay for it.

3 trillion when you count caring for 30,000 injured many of whom need lifelong care now .

And people argue over what some Pastor said ? Who cares? We should focus on how to get out of Iraq, and fix our economy, our schools and infratstructure.

They go where we tell them and they do what we ask them. they are some of the finest americans we will ever know.

No way should you have allowed Carville to spew the garbage he was just spewing. If he wants to use the analogy of a basketball game ending early, you should have replied that no one would support changing the rules in the middle of a game just because the wrong team was winning. CNN should not have Carville on its staff. It is too much of a conflict of interest.

WOLF BLITZER FOR PRESIDENT 2008

Obama made an excuss for blacks hating whites and then feed it to the next generation by allowing his children and others to be subjected to a hate a race sermon, by Wright.

As Dr. martin luther King put it. "we need not drink from the cup of bitterness and hatered."

in the civil war it was the white man fighting the white man to free slaves. how dare they preach hate to the very people who fought to free them. i never had any part of slavery. it was made illegal by the white man around 150 years ago and brought up again with equal rights 45 years ago. way past time for the black people to get over their bitterness toward the white.
if Obama can not face this then he needs to go

Clinton\Lewis 2008

But, they have done the task they were asked to do - now it is time for the Iraq 'Government' to do its job and allow the troops back home where they should be treated as heros, every single one of them.

THANKS GUYS
